Don't you know that Atari will never die, just hemhorrage forever?
Seriously though, if they don't do some *SERIOUS* marketing of their new
stuff, they may actually die. Amigas are advertised all over the place,
constantly, in non-computer publications etc., but it's a big deal when
Atari places one single ad. I mean, I've seen their ads for the Lynx and
Portfolio, good products both, but an STe/TT ad? Nada.

BTW, disk copying with TOS 1.0 is best done with a ramdisk. Also, you
can do a *LOT* of things with the Mac desktop that you can't do on an
ST, a good example being placing files/folders on the desktop... a
fundamental thing, to me.

Get a Spectre GCR-- the ultimate alternative desktop for the ST.
